    Toy Drive for Foster Care Children Kicks into Gear

    Neighborhood hero Tom Hatten, CEO and founder of Mountainside Fitness, sat down with Peoria Independent to talk about our annual Toy Drive

    The Voices Toy Drive, which helps every child in Arizona’s foster care system, has kicked off and runs through Dec. 10.

    The drive provides brand new, age-appropriate items such as toys, games, books, sports equipment, and science and art kits for infants and children up to 11 years old living in foster care. For teens ages 12 to 17, gift cards are appreciated for food and fun (Starbucks, Coldstone, Jamba Juice, etc.), movies and especially Walmart and Target to buy items they need.

    Drop-off locations are available at every Mountainside Fitness, with Northwest Valley locations in Peoria, Glendale and Surprise.

    What brought you to work in the child welfare field?

    What’s your “Why” in “Why CASA”?

    My “Why” is for bettering the lives of those who were given an unfair and unfortunate start to their own life, but then being able to help them succeed and become their true self without being defined by their past.

    What’s the best part of your job? Why?

    I get to have fun providing things like Hope Bags, activities, and essential needs to the hard working CASA volunteers who ultimately provide their CASA children with a sense of normalcy.

    I was the neighborhood babysitter at age 9.

    Dogs or cats? Coffee or Tea? Mountains or Beach?

    I love all animals and I have both dogs and a cat. I don’t like coffee or tea. And I love the beach (especially to play volleyball).

    I have lived in a lot of cities in my life. In Arizona: Paige, Williams, Phoenix, Cottonwood, Cornville, Scottsdale; in California: Malibu, Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, North Hollywood, Venice, Brentwood, Hermosa Beach. . “Home” is Scottsdale with my family.

    What is your favorite movie?

    Who inspires you?
